Let me guess adam johnson case was the final straw?n he's disillusioned with the game?
Exactly that. Not a single quote or source.

Trouble is, the club being the secret society that it is no one will confirm of deny it am sure.

Surely makes the hunt for a new chief exec even more difficult.
 
Hold on. The article is by Colin Young. He was barred from the SoL for years for anti SAFC articles.
Made up bollox.
 
This board seems to be full of the club accountants. He's appointed managers that have overspent on shite you can't blame him for the judgement of "football people" like keane,Bruce,Mon,poyet and then Di fanti/congerton. There's more than enough football experience there to have not cocked up.

I cant believe anyone would include di fanti and congerton in the same boat as Keane, Bruce, ONeill & Poyet. Shorts money has been pissed up against the wall in a manner Murray would never have allowed due to a basic grasp of footballing knowledge acquired through a lifetime of watching it in the flesh.

I think Short has learned the hard way that selling off the family silver and expecting to replace it cheaply has no guarantees. ANY football "people" or indeed "fan" couldve told him that. Unfortunately when the people whispering in your ear are your own appointments AND on the payroll youll get very little useful advice.

A shadow board of non-executive directors would be Shorts best option but is he the sort of bloke who takes advice?
 
Mebbes he is but ffs theyre a bit obvious in their motives arent they?
Does anyone still buy it?
Would love to see the back of Shorty, he cares fcuk all about football and Sunderland. As for reading the red rag, probably Comrade Corbyn, a few junior doctors, and lots of teachers, which probably explains the state of education in this country
 
Assault t took place at a smoggy Sunderland match :lol:
The Mirror have a collection of vile bitter ex journos who can't get an actual job anywhere who claim to be SAFC fans but who will sell their soul for £20 to write an article against the club.

Colin Young is one. As is Andy Dawson.

Young is no use to the press anymore after he burnt his bridges with SAFC.
Neither does Dawson after he mocked a disabled child who was a mascot at an SAFC match.

Both failed washed up middle aged ex journalists.
 
Those clubs spent wisely we wasted our money on absolute shite year after year. We've spent like the 7th most since coming back up like 300 million, plenty down to short. We've had our longest run in the top flight in 60+ years, however shite it's been that's an improvement. Steve Bruce had the best.chance to improve us and he fucked it up big style. I blame him more than anyone we took years to rectify his shite. Still not rectified.

As far as off the field goes you,smoker etc have no clue what goes on,Byrne fucked up over Johnson but prior to to that how do you know what she did none of us do. That stupid barnet **** has been responsible for all the gigs which have been a success he has fuck all to do with the football.

Short told Quinn to sell Henderson, Mignolet, Bent & Gyan. Short wanted expenses down as he was pushing heavily for FFP and couldnt be seen as a hypocrite PLUS he wanted some of his money back. His mistake was to not realise how difficult replacing the sort of players that attract big bids from big clubs actually is. If it WAS easy then the big clubs would miss out the middle man and buy the replacement players themselves.......like they used to. IE Keegan & Clemence from Scunthorpe, Neale from Northampton etc

Whatever the ins and outs, it's an opportunity lost. Forever I expect.
 
Journalists are there to write stories that sell newspapers - the more controversial the more sales - they are not interested in a balanced view or even tell the truth - I'm surprised so many people on here still get outraged or even believe what is in the press

:cool:He's been looking to offload for a while now. The club has been for sale for years I reckon. The nearest we came was with all PR we carried out in South Korea so i believe. Anyway Ellis drives a hard bargain I reckon. Don't believe all the money he has pumped in was his own personal fortune either.

Of course all of the above is my own personal speculation based upon nothing of substance and if Streaker had still been around I have no doubt he would be straight at my jugular for posting such shite:cool:
